[Coach34]

amazing

I read somewhere that he was a fat *** coming out of HS. Tony Gwynn got a hold of him and put him on a workout program to get him in shape. I'd say it worked

and I want to say his fastball was in the 90 range. Got him on a weight program and he developed a 100 mph fastball all during college.

I don't even know if he threw in the 90s coming out of high school. He lost something like 50 lbs after he got to college and grew 3 or 4 inches. I think SDSU was his only offer. Pretty amazing how it all turned out.

That is amazing he was not impressive coming out of high school.

"Strasburg wasn't even drafted out of HS"... Think about that next time someone starts talking about how great Cohen's recruiting rankings are. </p>

There are rumors of steroids even back then.

I don't know how that would explain 3-4 inch growth spurt, though.

but I guess those two are much more interesting than soybean journals and corncob circumference
